The intrinsic notion of 'doing the right thing'. I run IPcop as a student proxy, though the amount of 'proxy' files (unblock-bebo.info) et. al, that appear daily are more than we can cope with on a daily basis. We introduced 'web authentication' to log student viewing, though this is also hard as we run a DCHP LAN. Success came when we blitzed students on proxys for a day or so, showing them logs and taking them off the network for 'time wasting' and being 'off topic'. This was very effective. We also reminded the whole class that we want to open up the network, and that we believe the majority of students want the same to ensure a positive end to our IP Cop classroom raids. In a few days, we removed about 20 students from a cohort of 900, and many students began commenting on the benefits to them. We are rolling back the firewall piece by piece in reward for positive behaviour - but at the same time are encouraging teacher to use Web2.0 effectively in their lessons. This approach is winning over students, improving the learning and addressing the notion of 'digitial-behaviour'. The barrier to knowledge sharing is being addressed as the growing number of students blogging their work and also blogline-ing is growing daily ... they are sharing their knowledge with peers and teachers. Too many students and teachers put up with these barriers, which at the end of the day are a lot of work for the IT techies to maintain, and collective responsibility through knowledge sharing is the key to removing them IMO. Will subscribe to this ... thanks. Part of the solution has to lie with teaching students the value of using Web2.0 responsibly in their classroom. The intrinsic notion of ‘doing the right thing’.
